Don’t expect a 64-bit processor in the Galaxy S5

In a note to investors, KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has detailed the specs and features of the next-gen Galaxy S flagship, revealing that the handset may have two versions whose features will be slightly different, 9to5Google reports. The Galaxy S5 “Prime” and the Galaxy S5 “Standard” – which is what Kuo calls them, although it’s likely these aren’t the final names of the products – will share many specs including a 5.2-inch display 16-megapixel main camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 3D gesture support, fingerprint sensor, plastic cases and a 2850mAh battery.

However, when it comes to screen resolution, RAM and processor types, the Prime and Standard versions will pack different components. The Galaxy S5 Prime will have an octa-core Exynos 5430 32-bit processor, 3GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) or 565 pixels per inch (PPI) density, while the Galaxy S5 Standard will have a choice of Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974AC) or octa-core Exynos 5422 32-bit processor, 2GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) or 423PPI).
